ANW CHAPTER 9 "You are clearly drunk."

A few days passed
Alex is lying in her bed with Zayn. Zayn is awake looking up. Alex wakes up and sits straight up immediately. She is breathing heavily. Zayn looks worried.

Zayn: "Are you okay?"

Alex: "Yeah, it was just a bad dream."

Zayn: "What was it about?"

Alex: "Nothing."

Alex looks in her bag and takes a medicine bottle out of it. She looks inside.

Alex: "Shit."

Zayn: "What?"

Alex: "I've run out of pills."

Zayn: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Alex: "I thought I had another bottle..."

Zayn: "I'll talk to Adrian about it. I'll ask him if we could get more."

Zayn gets out of the tent. Everyone is sitting outside. Adrian is sitting against the building reading a book. He is wearing a winter coat.

Zayn: "What are you reading?"

Adrian: "Uhm...Its a book I had to read for school."

Zayn sits next to him.

Zayn: "How are you doing after yesterday?"

Adrian puts his book down.

Adrian: "I'd rather not talk about it..."

Zayn: "I'm sorry."

Adrian: "It's fine."

Zayn: "You know about Alex's anger issues right?"

Adrian: "Yeah...I do."

Zayn: "And you know she has medicine for it?"

Adrian: "Yes."

Zayn: "Well, she has run out of her medicine, so we should get more. I mean you saw her being mad when she broke a table, but then she was on her medicine. Imagine if she is not."

Adrian: "Okay, then we should get some. Maybe we could look for it today. Just us two."

Zayn: "Yeah sounds good."

Adrian stands up and whistles. Everyone comes over stumbling and stands in a circle. Alex gets out of her tent and joins them. Jason is still in his tent.

Adrian: "Let's only do the default chores, we all had a hard week. Zayn and I will go and look for more medical stuff. We have almost run out of it. Is everyone okay with that?"

No one reacts.

Adrian: "Okay, I'll see that as a yes."

Adrian is packing his bag. Candice comes up to him.

Candice: "Why do you need medical supplies?"

Adrian: "Just some stuff that we run out of."

Candice: "Do you need some stuff for your hand? Does it hurt a lot?"

Adrian: "No, no it's fine."

Candice: "Then tell me what's it about."

Adrian sighs.

Adrian: "Alright, it is about my hand."

Candice: "Maybe I should come with you, I know what kind of medicine you need."
